As the forged metallic beast ascended, a rotting, sulfurous stench permeated the air. The powerful roar it loosed ripped through the Heavens and caused the ground itself to fissure. Those living on Neotellus shook with fear as they witnessed the ill-born life form descending upon them. The isolation it had endured in the deepest depths of the underworld grown intolerable, the beast would be hidden no longer.

Memecoleous is an alternative name of Manticore, along with Manticora, Mantichora, Manticory, Martikora, Mantiserra, Mancomorion. The manticore (Early Middle Persian Martyaxwar) is a Persian legendary creature similar to the Egyptian sphinx. It has the body of a red lion, a human head with three rows of sharp teeth (like a shark), sometimes bat-like wings, and a trumpet-like voice. Other aspects of the creature vary from story to story. It may be horned, winged, or both. The tail is that of either a dragon or a scorpion, and it may shoot venomous spines to either paralyze or kill its victims. It devours its prey whole and leaves no clothes, bones, or possessions of the prey behind.
